Sea freight

Increasingly now, the quickest and therefore cheapest way out of Asia to the distribution center in Switzerland is via the ports of La Spezia and Genoa. In this way we save seven to ten days' travel time compared to the traditional route via the northern ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam or Hamburg. Thanks to the bundling of the quantities you also benefit from favorable terms. We also ensure that at peak times there are enough empty containers and shipping space. For this we work with the most reliable shipping companies around the world.

To ensure timely and efficient transport of goods from the Far East, Migros has set up local offices in Hong Kong and Delhi. For more details, see the page Migros Offices Hong Kong and Delhi.
